Read the passage.

Rodney is writing a story about a pheasant, a type of bird. He wants to use vivid, descriptive details.
As I strolled across the field, the only sound wasthe swishing of tall grass. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I glimpsed movement. A
pheasant was strutting through the grass. The green feathers covering his head shimmered in the sunshine. The band of white feathers around his
neck resembled a collar. Slowly, I crept toward him, hoping for a closer look.
The pheasant flew swiftly across the
field, disappearing into a group of trees.
Which concluding sentence best uses vivid details??’

O2. Suddenly, I was startled by a sudden noise.
3. Suddenly, I heard an unusual sound coming from the bird.

Answer:

4. Suddenly, a harsh cry like a frog's croak shattered the quiet.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the only sentence that described the cry of the bird very clearly by comparing it with a frog's croak. The other sentences described the cry of the bird very vaguely with words such as "loud", "sudden" and "unusual".
